pitch of absurdity that large shop has
been opened in Paris % supply the

now dressed and dccked out in fancy

toilet baskets and their sleeping baskets.
But in the autumn all Paris estapes to
the seaside, and so, if you please, these
little wretches must have their dust
cloaks for travelling, with pocket for

part of the outfit is waterproof mantle,
with hood to be worn in wet weather

be a great relief to the pet dogs them

W0MAN'S WORLD.
PLEASANT LlTERATCRE FOR
FEMININE READERS.
Dressed All in Lace.

An amusing and interesting incident
occurred on the steamship Allcr on Fri
day. The steamship was nearing port
and one of the women cabin passengers
appeared in the dining saloon dressed in
the costlicst lace. She confded to her
female friends that every article of dress
she wore was of lace, even to the gloves
and hose, and added that she "oulu
wear lace boots if it wasn't so chilly. She
explained that one of her daug ghters is
shortly to be married, that the lare was
for her trousscau, and that inasmuch as
she personally wore it the customs rcgu-
lations could not take it from her. 1t is
estimated that the fair and matronly one
was drapcd with SIS, 600 worth of the lace.

A Costly Cloak.

Mrs. Mackay, the wife of the rich
American, is, says the Sydney -haa, de-
termined to possess cloak made from
the breasts of the birds of paradise.
These birds arc sold at thirty shillings
each. The breast is about tour inches
broad and about six long at greatest
length, and nearly heart shape; the upper
portion is about an inch and half deep
and is like the finest plush, in co:or Il
seal brown; the color shades oil below to
a pinky terra Gotta. About 300 BIRDS
will be necessary to furnish enough for
the cloak, and to secure them Mrs.
Mackay has despatched two skillful
marksmen direct to New Guinea. and
they arc now engaged in the wholesale
slaughter. The mantle will be costly,
but the work of destruction will he so
great that it is to be hoped few imitators
will be found.

and she would be passing slight upon
them by taking it off. If these children
are grown up they must not keep aloo1
from the wedding party, but must pe
present ut the ceremony. They are not
expected to look joyful: but their absence
would give rise to scandal. The re-
ligious service must be very simple
without floral decorations or singing.
The widow at her second marriage must
not wear gray or mauvc, for such colors
would be suggestive of half-mourning,
which her second husband might not
take to be delicate allusion to himself.
Rose color is also forbidden, on the
ground that it is too gay. The head
dress should be black or white man
tilla, with few flowers scattered over
it-ccrtainly not orange flowers, whlcf
can only be worn once on such occasions,
nor chrysanthemums and scabionscs,
which are termed "widows' flowers" A
breakfast or a dinner follows the re-
ligious ceremony, but no ball IS given

Second Marriages in France.

A correspondent of the Boston Tran
script says the French have decided views
as to second marriages. The correspond
ent adds:
There are certain rules of good taste
and etiquette with regard to second
marriages in France which are usually
observed by the educated classes. The
whole ceremonial must be quiet and
unostentatious. The festive preparations
must be on a modest scale. 1t is not
considered becoming for the bridegroom
and bride to appear very happy. They
must be sedate and calm, with an ex-
preston of resignation in their faces.
something is due to the memory of the
dear departed. This is especially the
case if lady is widow. She does not
take from her finger the ring placed
there by her first husband. Her second
spouse would be considered a man Of
bad feeling and bad taste if he objected
to this mark of respect paid to his prede-
cessor. Moreover, if the lady has chill
dren the first ring must be retained out
OF regard for the memory of Their father,

Taking Care of Herself.

An incident displaying the value of
calisthenics to the fair sex was witnessed
at Hjghbury station about II P. NJ. one
night last week A young lady, the
wife of well-known athlete, was max
ing her way up the stairs to the train,
when she was rudely a"costed by half
drunken man, who made several impcrti-
nent remarks, and finally attempted to
kiss her. This was too much for the
youthful British matron, whose training
had been of a kind to prompt reliance
upon the muscles of the arm rather than
those of the throat. Sweeping off her
glove, she turned round, and dealt the
offender blow between the eyes which
fairly knocked the offender off his feet,
and reeling backward he rolled from
the top to the bottom of the stairs in
series of somcrsaults painful enough to
convince him that caution in his ANA
tory advances might be worth observa-
tion in the future. A curious feature in
connection with this incident is that the
lady in question is the third sister who
has performed the feat of knocking
down an insulter. One of the family,
mere girl, was pursued on Blackheath by
an unfortunate tramp, till she could run
no further, when she promptly floored
her pursuer; and the other similarly
dealt with a scoundrel who laid hands
on her in Richmond. We understand
that all these young ladies were practi-
cal gymnasts; and the value to women
of such training could not be better en-
emplifed than by the foregoing facts

Although in each case Brander rendered
his resignation, it is generally under

his attempt to support the DreSbach q

marked return of prosperity. The an

$4,000 in the same time.
Considerable secresy has always been
maintained regarding the exact number
OF shares held by each of the five stock

John w. Mackey 10000, James G.. Fair
10000. James G. Flood $500, r. H. Fal-

quantities OF wheat which were accu-
mulated in consequence of the Dresbach
deal, and which are still being held

be total loss to the holders. Weevil

been rendered worthless. The owners
are making strong efforts to negotiate

MONTREAL, Oct. 16.-Quite f1utter of
excitement exists in French-Canadian
society here over the decorations scan
dal in France. This is. owing to the
fact that many French Canadian states
men. politicians, lawyers and profess
sional meE wear the ribbon of the dec
oratiens in question. Senator SENEGAL,
who was buried yesterday, wore the
Legion of Honor, which it was openly
from friends of Gen. Boulanger. A Pa
risian named Tranehaut, some months
ago. petitioned the French government
to inquire into the matter. and it is said
here that this had something to do with
the present expose. Numerous other
French-Canadians are known to have
purchased the decorations they wear,
and are said to have paid 20 francs each
for the order of the Nifham Ifitaker of
Tunis, 200 francs for the Ordre du Edu-
cation and 500 francs for the Legionsof

HUNTED DOWN.
Members of Gang of Robbers
Either Killed or Cantured /


CHARLESTON. W. Va, Oct. 16.-Fully
500 citizens started out yesterday morn.
ing after the robbers who murdered Mr.,
Ryan near Walton last Thursday night.
After the house was robbed and the old
man shot the robbers, thirteen in num-
Der, compelled the family to send him
up stairs and to get breakfast for them.
The officers and citizens ran into the
robbers last night at George Duff's resi-
dence. eight miles from SiSsOnville, this
county. and were warned to keep off by
the robbers, who had taken refuge in
the house, fitted port holes and made
other arrangements for protection. The
murdererS were fired upon and George
Duff, Jr.. killed. Jake Coon
was captured and lynched. Five
of the officers and citi-
ZenS in the battle were wounded among
whom are Peter William Skien's
brothers. The information received is
very meager. There are about twenty
robbers in the gang who have been car
rying Oh at high rate. Nj. Duff, George
Drake and Frank Shambling are pris-
onerS and await the pleasure of the Wig
ilance committee for their disposal.
Coon is the man who killed Rev Thomas
p. Ryan and shot five of the vigilance
committee. 1t is believed that a full
confession will be made and the whole
gang lynched. The vigilantes are still
after the others. and it is said that a
well-known state detective is mixed up
in the robbery. A large number of rob-
berries have been committed by this
gang during the past few months.

CHAMBERLAIN, Dak., Oct. 16.-Maj.
Anderson, the agent at Crow creek and

for the time at least what threatened to
be an uprising among the the Indians.
1t seems that there were three Yank-
ton Indians who stirred up the trouble,
and who were desirous of seeing the
surveyors driven off. With twenty
Indian police he proceeded to White
river at midnight and arrested Little
Pheasant, Medicine Bear, Little Bear,
john Duck and another Indian, and
with ball and chain put them in the Jail
at Lower Brule. He says he intends to
keep them there till they have thor
oughly repented, and that the survey
must be made at all hazards. If any
trouble occurs there are number of
men here who are ready and willing to
lend their aid. This morning all seems
to be quiet at the agency.
